Best Western Hotel Acqua Novella

We were staying here as part of a tour group. First the good points: the location is excellent, overlooking the beach and coastline and about 15mins walk along the promenade to Spotorno. Around 40mins walk to the next lovely little town, Noli. Our room was large, kept spotlessly clean and very elegant decor with white walls and blue tiled floor. Housekeeping all over hotel excellent. Very airy feel to hotel with small pool and seating areas outside. It is perched on a cliff and has a funicular down to the road. Now to the negative bits. Bar very limited and no ambience, no daytime snacks of any description, but this was May and I think they open the beach bar in June. Food in the evening was very bland, and as if they had a rigorous budget to adhere to with us being a group stay. Independent guests were given tables by the panoramic windows and their food looked delicious. We felt very much like second class citizens. Even the so called gala night on the last night was nothing at all special and no extra fuss made, if anything the food was even worse. It was waiter service not buffet although breakfast was buffet style. So good points and not so good but they really need to use some seasonings! To borrow towels for pool it was 5euros and 40 Euro deposit per towel which seems very steep. Got the impression that hotel maybe new to taking tour groups, not really geared up eg. very few teapots for breakfast and quite a few had no lids! A lovely area though with lots of lovely places eg. Finale Borgho to visit by bus and a bus stop just outside hotel. Tickets for bus available from hotel reception which was very convenient. less

We booked this blind merely needing somewhere to stay en route to Avignon from Anzio. What a find? A spacious, airy hotel overlooking a beautiful bay; the view from our room was of the beach, the view from the restaurant covers the entire coastline. The restaurant has a fine menu, a brilliant head waiter called Francisco, an excellent chef and an extensive wine list. The room was large and comfortable; clean, fresh and simply great. I have paid five times this amount for far less around the globe. To cap it all, from the car park down to the street below........they have a funicular! This is a seriously special hotel where the team live and breathe everything that goes on in it and make it so by their efforts. less

My wife and I enjoyed this hotel the best of our "Tour of Northern Italy". Everything was excellent about this hotel. We were privileged to have a room on the 7th floor with an enormous balcony facing the Mediterranean. The hotel is on the side of the mountain and there is a special lift to take guests to the street/beach level. The buffet breakfast is amazing and the ristorante is extravagant. The beach, however, is granular rock rather than sand - a first for us. less

The facilities are great and kept clean. The fitness room is pathetic. The buffet is a 4 out of 10. A 10 being a JW Marriott. The fruit this morning was overripe, the milk was not refreshed, cheap selection of teas. The juice was a concentrated suger liquid. They did have a pancake machine but with no maple syrup. I am in a group. The group dinner food was a 2 out of 10. A bunch of frozen food grossness warmed up. I you pay alacarte, the food I saw was very good. Groups get shafted at dinner time. Beach was nice but you pay for beach towels and use of the chairs. less

我們是一對夫妻帶著八個月大嬰兒一同來此度假，飯店有一點舊，一進房間就有一股不好聞的化學味道，飯店表示應該是他們打掃用的清潔產品，那個味道讓我有點困擾，還好窗戶非常大，所以我們常常讓窗戶是打開著的狀態。飯店的早餐豐富好吃，瓶裝礦泉水是免費供應的，飯店人員都非常友善，見到我們都會笑咪咪的打招呼，而且非常熱心的幫我們加熱嬰兒副食品。飯店地點還算不錯，有電梯可以到達海灘的對面，這對推著嬰兒車前來的我們來說非常重要。飯店的海灘設備需要租賃，價位不低，一組陽傘加上兩個海灘椅一天要34歐元含稅，因為我們是旺季的時候來的，所以飯店價格也特別高，如果避開旺季，我想應該是不錯的選擇。飯店三樓還有一個景觀不錯的游泳池，這裡適合與嬰兒或幼童一同玩水，而且大部分的人都到海邊去了，顯得格外清靜舒適，我個人十分喜歡。總結如果能提前預訂或是避開旺季拿到好的價格的話，是一個會想再來的地方。 less
